the way to reconquer Wikipedia from the Jews. He then goes on to list
the "chief jews" in Wikipedia. I'd say that's pretty close to a death

contributions to Wikipedia I would certainly hope that the person
would be blocked. I think Wikipedia should consider legal action
against the ISP hosting the site for soliciting acts of violence
against Wikipedia editors.
Exactly. I feel this discussion of danger to users has direct personal
relevance for me.
I used to post exact flight and train arrival times on my travel page
because this enabled random Wikipedians to meet me at the airport, which
is of course quite helpful. I don't do that anymore because of lunatics
like Sollog.
Hateful people like this sometime do evil things. This means we have to
be extremely thoughtful in thinking practically about the best way to
deal with them. But it also means that we should not waste 1 second
worrying about whether we are somehow being inappropriately intolerant.
I am not tolerant of people who post my name in a menacing way in a
thread which contains a discussion of 'taking over wikipedia' and using
force against Jews and so on.
